Transform, the United Kingdom’s most trusted provider of cosmetic surgery, and its team of professionals understands the frustrations and embarrassing situations hyperhidrosis sufferers find themselves in.

Now, with the help of the popular wrinkle treatment Botox, the cosmetic surgery group can dry up those sweaty palms and prevent these situations from occurring.

Transform Cosmetic Surgery Group has found another use for Botox, and they feel the 1% of Britons who currently live with hyperhidrosis will be excited to find out more about this new technique Transform refers to as ‘Palm-tox’.

To slow down the skin’s rate of perspiration, the professional injects the Botox beneath the skin where it prevents signals from traveling up the nerves, which are connected to the sweat glands. This keeps the signals from kicking the gland’s production of moisture into overdrive.

The popular cosmetic surgery provider has noticed a consistent increase in the number of Botox patients who are inquiring about the procedure. These patients consist of new and existing Botox users and are predominantly male. However, they all are tired of living with the condition and are eager to treat the condition.

In fact, Transform says interest in the Palm-tox technique has risen 200% since October of 2009. They believe this increase is due mostly to the arrival of warmer weather outdoors as well as the current economic situation.

Gwen Davies, Manager of Transform’s Non-Surgical Team, is extremely happy about the new Botox technique and the effects it has on hyperhidrosis patients. “We’re continuing to see more and more patients who can’t live with these embarrassing effects of hyperhidrosis any longer. We had originally begun using the technique on patients who suffer with hyperhidrosis under their arms, which affects an estimated one in one-hundred people in the UK,” she said.

“Transform’s cosmetic surgery experts are always hunting for new uses for Botox and new techniques that will allow us to improve the lives of our patients. This has resulted in a number of treatments that can ease the suffering associated with conditions such as migraines, bruxism and sweating in addition to making them look younger through cosmetic wrinkle treatments. However, we do want the public to understand that these techniques should only be performed by experienced experts,” Davies continued.

Transform has expanded to 24 locations throughout the United Kingdom since it first began in the industry 35 years ago. This makes them the largest, longest running, and most popular cosmetic surgery group in the country. Patients can benefit from a number of different surgical and non-surgical procedures offered by the provider including nose jobs, facelifts, breast implants, and Botox wrinkle treatments.
